Keep a check on your vehicle’s fuel gauge. In colder weather, it is more likely that you will be faced with frequent stopping and starting, which can drain the tank. If you aren’t confident that your fuel indicator gauge is telling you the truth, you can also keep track of your mileage to give you an idea of when you need to fill up. It is not advisable to continuously ignore your vehicle’s fuel warning light, as consistently running your vehicle with a near empty tank can cause costly damage to the fuel system.
